Give yourself the time
To sit and contemplate life
Tune out and tune in

Lack of association
#RomanticTuesday ~ Burn – #poetry #love
Feel my warmth against your skin
A fire simmers from deep within
A heart, surrenders, to a touch
Lips against lips, in a silent hush
Two body’s crash in a single burn
Flesh upon flesh in a single turn
Feelings that can no longer hide
Release this yearning ache inside
Passionate cravings, fuel for the fire
Two become one in heated desire

Our Very Words – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon
Photo: peoplesriverhistory.us. Artist Wes Modes sailed this recreated 1940s shanty boat down the Tennessee River in 2016 as part of the project – ‘A Secret History Of American River People’
Beware the echo-chamber!
Our Very Words
We named her SS Egalitarian,
fuelled her with libertarian spirit
and collectively manoeuvred along the river
wisely steering round the rocks of despair,
avoiding log-jams upstream,
keeping to ourselves, naturally
no boarders here
our company pure,
ideologically speaking of course,
untainted, ideal,
and though we steered so well
navigating this river of life,
the skin of her hull
our very words in fact,
ran out, and the
democracy of the river poured in.

Blue Twilight
Blue
twilight
drifting in
on evening breeze
welcoming day’s end
lush scent of greenery
surrounds the welcoming porch
a place to pause, a chair to rest
gather the day’s worries, toss them to
the wind, sip a glass of red wine and dream.
